The Master Speed 44 is a hybrid RACING/FITNESS kayak designed for heavier paddlers. Its hull has roughly the shape of the "K1 models of the golden ages", yet has more stability. Its narrowed catch area allows the paddler to put more power into the stroke and reach quite fast speeds.
Because of its position between FITNESS/TOURING & RACING models, paddlers using this model often choose a Racing seat. This gives a higher center of gravity, so you can practice an even higher angle paddling technique.
